Facility
Optimo · Malte Bentzen
Malte Bentzen's modernist sans with a 1960s flare and slightly flared terminals, in nine weights with italics and a variable axis.
About
A modernist sans by Zürich-based Danish designer Malte Bentzen that flirts with 1960s extravagance while staying grounded in mid-century rationality. Distinctive curves on letters such as a and s, paired with slightly flared terminals, evoke the vibrant shapes of Verner Panton, while the structural logic stays efficient and fluent. Nine weights with italics, plus an Extra Black, an Upright Variable and a full Variable, make it usable from text to display without losing the warmth that gives Facility its personality.
